What does this even mean..

Blackbeard would probably kill Enel and steal his ability before he'd let Enel be a Titanic Captain, IMO.

Think it's heavily hinted that Aokiji is probably the 10th.

No it isn't the world only recently learned of his alliance with BB. While his Ten Titanic Captains are known worldwide.

I would venture that « 5/10 » means Yamato doesn’t join right away. Some « later » deal like with Jinbe. That’ll make for a nice « come back in the nick of time » moment in the next arc I guess

 

[Core D. Roy]

Only thing I can think is joining BB or being killed by him.

Weevil hates Blackbeard, and was introduced as wanting to go after revenge until Bakkin ordered him not to. So it seems unlikely Weevil will encounter Blackbeard at all until a battle royale or something later on.

If this happens, then that just tells me that Oda cba to develop her character... because you'll send her off to do god knows what and then just appear out of thin air like Jimbei with zero explanation as to how she got there, no flashback no real change in character... yeah you can miss me with that shit.

You're free to continue thinking that. I'm of the opinion that Aokiji, someone who contended for the spot of fleet Admiral, and held the position of Admiral, would be nothing less than a commander in a crew if he was going to be in one. It wouldn't make any sense.

Besides. We've never heard anything about the Tenth Captain, so your speculation is just speculation. The way information is presented in OP is usually through Luffy's perspective. Everyone seems to know Aokiji has an affiliation with Blackbeard.

He isn't a member of his crew though just a ally. Doflamingo the guy with biggest underworld connections didn't know what Kuzan was up. Burgess even mentioned Kuzan only becoming a ally recently. So yeah Kuzan isn't the 10th Titanic Captain it's someone unknown to us.

0/10 = Yamato joins another crew for some reason

2/10 = Yamato doesn't join

5/10 = The chapter probably ends with Yamato landing on the ship and saying something like, "I'm joining your crew!" and a bunch of surprised faces, because we all know this is just getting ridiculous how it's been delayed so much.

10/10 = ... IDK. I've never been that hyped about a crew member joining. I mean Jinbei telling Big Mom to fuck off was arguably an 8 or 9/10.

I don't really get what Yamato could possibly do to delay joining. Jinbei has the liberty of being a Fishman. The world is his oyster. I mean shit, he just right-place-right-timed the Onigashima War somehow. Yamato isn't an experienced sailor, and, like Oden, would never escape Wano without help. Also, it's unlikely Luffy is coming back to Wano anytime soon. This is the only real chance to get on the road to Laugh Tale for Yamato.

Plus, Yamato's "thing to do" was literally a three item list:

• Get out of exploding handcuffs
• Free Wano from Kaido's tyranny
• Sail away and live like Oden

Weevil hates Blackbeard, and was introduced as wanting to go after revenge until Bakkin ordered him not to. So it seems unlikely Weevil will encounter Blackbeard at all until a battle royale or something later on.

I really wonder if Bakkin has an ability that allows her to manipulate Weevil. It'd be awesome if she had something like a Baka Baka no Mi that turned people stupid. Imagine if Weevil was actually not an infantile idiot, and he was just being influenced by an ability of hers...

I honestly think Weevil is going to be an enemy turned ally though. I suspect Luffy is going to pull something like he did to Alvida against Bakkin ("who's this fat lady??"). Maybe something like:

Weevil: "Strawhat! I'm here for my dad's treasure! Where is it! Momma told me you has it!!"
Luffy: "Mama?" *sideways head turn*
Weevil: *points to Bakkin*
Luffy: "She can't be your mom! You're way too fat!"
Weevil: "What?! Really? Mama is a liar?!"
Bakkin: "...."
Bakkin: "........."
Bakkin: "Damn you Strawhat!"

10/10 was when Zoro joined.

 

[Rein Avara]

TBH I don't want to think about it too much because it'll trigger me... but it's the type of thing Oda would do just to tell the story his way.

 

[Nie Li]

Honestly if Yamato's going to leave Wano she should just leave with Luffy and be done with it. I don't think there's any convincing way of justifying otherwise.

 

[catagon87]

You don't know that. Your recollection of Burgess mentioning anything about Kuzan becoming an ally recently is not even accurate, I think.

He simply says he can't trust Aokiji, after Blackbeard says "Doesn't that go for Shiryuu, too?!"
Shiryuu is a Titanic Captain. Aokiji could very well be one. Is it possible he isn't? Sure, but saying that he objectively isn't is just idiotic. As if someone can't join a crew and brew promoted quickly. How long did it take the Grand Fleet Captains to become Captains? A sake exchange (aka, not long).

Oh yeah. Most epic moment in One Piece. Puts this one to shame. This is pretty lame in comparison, too.

 

[kkck]

I don't think the SHs are OP ATM. It's a top heavy crew.

Adding Yamato who has nothing to offer other than her combat ability wouldn't change things much.

Yeah, it's definitely top heavy... but top heavy in such a way that a single person from that top could manhandle multiple yonko executives. Imagine a yonko level luffy and yonko level zoro... which is going to be a thing soon enough. If it was a fight against big mom or kaido then luffy would hold of a yonko while zoro single handedly decimates the rest of the executives. And the rest of the strawhats basically do cleanup...

I'm sure when it comes to the Titanic Captains, power is everything

If Aokiji asked to join, Blackbeard would accept immediately

As always, a man of culture.

I think the Titanic Captains will probably provide a decent challenge member to member. There's 10 captains, and probably 10 SHP other than Luffy.

My guess is:

Luffy v Blackbeard - obviously

Jinbei v Burgess (both are helmsmen, and both are into a form of martial arts) - both from the Grand Line
Zoro v Shiryuu - Obvious. Both swordsmen
Usopp v Van Augur - Both snipers. Both from East Blue.
Brook v Laffitte - both use a similar sword. Both from West Blue.
Chopper v Doc Q and Stronger
Sanji v ???
Robin v Catarina Devon - Not sure on this one.
Nami v Vasco Shot
General Franky / Thousand Sunny v Sanjuan Wolf - Sanjuan is able to change his size, and is basically a ship. It'd make since for General Franky to fight him.
Yamato v Avalo Pizarro

If Yamato won't join Luffy as a crew member, i really want her to inherit her father's crew and become the Beast Pirates's princess and join later Luffy as an ally

Kuzan association with BB came to light after this arc. While BB Tenth Titanic Captains are already known worldwide. Also Burgess saying he can't trust Kuzan word on this doesn't seem like a crewmember to me. You think Doflamingo wouldn't know if a former Adrimal became a underlying of Yonko?

I don't know if that crew of powerhungry scumbags suits her, but I won't deny having her as her own captain and join the fleet instead of the crew would be cool.

It depends? given how the story has is developing it really is begining to look like mihawk might be a straight up match to current shanks. It would level the field for the cross guild at least. Role wise there's almost clear parallels between the BB pirates and the strawhats but in my post I was going more for hierarchy stuff. Felt weird to imply that any one titanic captain is stronger than another outside of shiliu who is definitely a target for zoro. Zoro does usually win his fights with a lot of comfort though and shiliu doesn't scream "yonko level" for that matter. Not sure of how franky would engage san juan wolf. He didn't exactly do great against good old hatcha.
